“My favorite thing about my FCB Home is the spacious kitchen and large kitchen island. I like to cook and entertain guests, and the design makes it a more enjoyable experience. I also like the large deep sink which makes washing pots easier and the large pantry for storage.”

Matt
Hampton Place, Stockton

“The floor plan is perfect for our family and lifestyle. We love the ceiling heights and numerous architectural features throughout the house. The quality is outstanding and we enjoy living here. Our neighborhood is very pleasant and calm, and includes a neighborhood park. It features amenities for both adults and children. The structures and playground equipment are very nice, and is a definite benefit to our family. During and after construction, the FCB Homes staff, including sales, construction & customer care, were excellent to work with. We had a very satisfying experience, and would recommend FCB to anyone looking for a home.”

After living in the same house for 40 years we made the decision to re-locate.

It was a BIG decision and a BIG move! We were rookies in the housing market and needed guidance and support. FCB's staff was there to deliver! It was almost a year long process and everyone we met during this time was awesome. Lisa Aguirre, our Design Consultant was attentive and patient. Louise Oliver, our Celebration Sales Representative and Andrea Olson never let us down. They helped us through the hurdles with efficiency and humor. We never felt alone on this exciting yet challenging journey.

We feel very fortunate that our BIG decision and our BIG move was with FCB. We are so happy in our new home, thankful to be be living near our grandchildren and grateful to be a part of the RoseGate community. Thank you FCB!

Well, to give a statement of how we feel about our home, the process, and FCB we have to start when we started looking for a home.

We were not happy with the condition of the available pre-owned homes in the area and wanted a larger home with a single story. As we were becoming frustrated, I asked my then fiancé, “what about new?” I had heard good things about a builder (FCB) in Lodi, and it couldn’t hurt to take a look.

We were impressed with the design, artisanship, and the quality of amenities that were standard features in the homes at Rosegate. We immediately fell in love with the Florentina model in Artistry. The sales people took such great care of us, made us feel like we were their only buyers, answered every question, dealt with all of our needs without ever making us feel like we were bugging them, and stayed with us through the entire process until after we received our keys. I cannot say enough good things about our representative in the Artistry office. The FCB builders and leads were extremely customer centric and the entire build was transparent. I have never had a builder so open and actually enthusiastic about the buyers seeing the home at every stage. I could see the pride in the build quality in every person that we met through the build. Even the subs were friendly and helpful. Problems and unexpected challenges happen with every build, but at every point, a solution or multiple solutions to choose from were given to us, and always included a better option or a resolution that exceeded our expectations. The design center was made into the most fun time possible because of Lisa Aguirre and her team. She gave us all the time we needed, and often more time than we had in our appointments. She handled our changes without flinching, and was so pleasant to deal with that we looked forward to the appointments. Lisa is very talented and knowledgeable in design, and that made it fun. We always felt like we had a partner and advocate for our best interest. She provided us such valuable guidance and counsel throughout the process.

At the risk of this ending up too long, the final inspections, after build home warranty inspections and fixes were handled by the best people. Never were we made to feel silly or too picky when we found something to be repaired. All of our questions were answered completely, and Steve has a better eye than we do on finding the slightest imperfections that he enthusiastically scheduled to get fixed.

We could not be happier with our FCB home—it felt like home from day one—maybe even before that. Much of that is due to the customer centric culture at FCB and the high standards for building homes in the community.

Sincerely, Mike & Cameron W.
